BREAKING: 1,700 attorneys at Littler Mendelson are forming an independent union as Union Busters United. They've requested voluntary recogntion of their union with super majority support. (Happy April fools Day <3)

When Patagonia workers wanted to vote on a union, the company didn’t hold ‘captive audience’ meetings or pressure workers to vote no.

They stayed neutral and let workers decide, according to UFCW.

Quite a contrast with other ‘progressive’ employers.

Where will workers win today?

To help prevent injury, its good to work on imbalances in our muscle groups. Workouts likes push-ups, planks, stretching, and organizing your workplace are key to a long and happy climbing career.

[Movement For Equal Footing @Mvmt4EqlFooting]

Climbers and belayers, do your safety checks every time, make sure you know your descent plan, and support transparency and accountability in the workplace.
